Abstract

A method for stabilization of extra-chromosomal elements in bacteria during cultivation which comprises transformation of a host bacterium having a defect in a chromosomal gene needed for the synthesis or maintenance of the cell envelope with an extra-chromosomal element capable of complementing the chromosomal gene defect of the host bacterium, the extra-chromosomal element also including an expressible DNA-sequence coding for a desired product.
